Low Washer Fluid and Trunk Lid issues

[keh45@aol.com]

Hi all, Do anyone know how to turn off the Low Washer Fluid alert on the SID on a 1999 95 SE 4cyl. I’ve filled the washer fluid bottle and the warning won't go away. I thought all I had to do was fill the bottle and that would be it. I've tried the clear button on the SID, I disconnected and reconnected the battery, I unplugged the SID, I removed the fuse for the pumps, and I even raised the car and checked the connections at the bottle. Did I miss something? Did anyone else ever have this problem? And how do I solve it? Yes this is the first time I had to fill the bottle; I recently purchased the car at auction.

Another problem I have on the same car. I changed the Trunk Lid and hooked up all the wiring all the lights work but I can’t get the Trunk to open when I push the trunk release button. It seems that no power is getting to the mechanism and I rechecked all my connections I even installed the original trunk lid module from the original lid the new lid replaced. Do I have to reset something for this to work? it worked fine before the switch.

THERE IS NO RESET FOR THE TRUNK DOUBLE CK THE WIRE HARNESS AT THE LEFT TRUNK HINGE THE WIRES COULD BE BROKEN HAVE SEE THAT BEFORE

FYI just this week I repaired coolant resevoir sensor on my daughter's 9000 & it's possible your washer fluid sensor would be similar. Remove resevoir & clean thoroughly ensuring no sediment or slime is left in the bottom. (Coolant resevoir has a metal washer in it that slides up & down; when all the way down it must make contact with the sensor completing a circuit.) Then check the wiring. (9000's wiring was missing 1.5 inches of it's insulation leaving two wires touching; I split shrink tubing to cover wires & coated with liquid tape) Tested perfectly!
